Same issue. Databases take care and feeding. Most projects have bug databases that have several years of backlog, with a lot of the bugs no longer even valid. The list of bugs grows, and rarely shrinks... I've been on projects where bug databases were valuable parts of the development process. But doing them right was a *LOT* of work. And for a lot of developers, seeing the list grow was just a big dis-incentive. Triage wasn't something you could offload to a manager, or even to junior developers, either. What's wrong with just keeping a buglist in a text file and whittling it down? Other than the fact that nobody seems to be whittling our current one down much. - Dave _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
